Victor Gischler signing at Dragon’s Lair Sunday, Oct. 17

Good news if you like your mutants and mysteries bloody and hard-boiled. Comic scribe/novelist Victor Gischler will be at Dragon’s Lair this Sunday, Oct. 17, at 2 p.m. to sign stuff and blow your mind without splattering too much gray matter on the walls.

X-Men fans will recognize Gischler from his current vampirific run on “X-Men,” as well as his work on Marvel’s incessant Wade Wilson mania in “Deadpool Corps” and “Deadpool: Merc With a Mouth.” Those who like their blood and bullets sans splash pages likely know Gischler for his novels like “Gun Monkeys” (which has been optioned for the big screen) as well as “Shotgun Opera” and “Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse.”
